    As the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles, the new complex and the city planning are neat and clean. This originated from a fire in 1871. It burned for two days and two nights and destroyed the original mostly wooden Chicago city and had to be rebuilt. All of them are converted to reinforced concrete, and as the world's tallest skyline, although high-rise buildings are only concentrated in the small urban area of Loop and about 5 square kilometers, it is also because of the extreme contrast between the height and the area, which is more obvious to the city's uprightness. Where do we all go in Chicago? 1. Buckingham Fountain is a Chicago landmark located in the heart of Grant Park. Built in 1927, it is the world's largest fountain. Do you think it is a bit of a Versailles fountain that is visual? That is the source of inspiration, symbolizing Lake Michigan 2. Millennium Park Millennium Park two most famous artworks crown fountain and cloud gate not much to say, about 25 minutes stroll from Buckingham fountain. Take a break to see the children playing in the water, take pictures with the beans on their heads to see if they can find themselves 3. Architecture curise Change the perspective to feel the wind city, boat tour the Chicago River. If you are interested in Chicago’s history and architecture, it is a good choice to take a boat to learn about the story of Chicago’s reconstruction after the fire and the various styles of buildings on both sides of the river, or just blow the wind of Lake Michigan on the bow and feel the modern beauty of the city. Also very pleasant. Follow the Chicago River out of Lake Michigan, enjoy the lake view and then return to the Chicago River, and watch the skyscrapers from a close angle. Absolutely not to miss the north

    It is about 300 meters away from the cloud gate of Millennium Park and about 200 meters away from Lake Michigan; it is connected to the airport by a subway station. It is a free and open scenic spot. Neat and orderly, you can't not see the attraction. There are fountains in summer, no crowded tourists, and the fountains stop when winter goes, probably because of the temperature.

    Buckingham Fountain (Buckingham Fountain), located in Grant Park, Chicago, (Grant Park), Lake Michigan to the east, Columbus Avenue to the west, very close to the famous Michigan Avenue, and only ten minutes walk from the Chicago Academy of Art Museum. It is said to be the world's largest lighting fountain. The base of the Buckingham fountain is built with red marble. The pool is three floors, and the sculpture in the pool increases its art position. There are hundreds of water flowers around it shooting into the center, and a water column in the center sprays 40 or 50 meters high. Been there two or three times. Spring and autumn, the fountain, blue sky, the big lake, into a spectacular oil painting. The night view is the most beautiful, the colored lights, the water columns are colorful, and the high-rise lights on Michigan Avenue are reflected. The first time I came here in winter, I came here, the cold wind was blowing, there were few tourists, the fountain was not sprayed, the lonely and empty, and there was no taste. The second time, the turn of spring and summer came again, and it felt very different.
